Chapter 579 Unique

Speaking of this, Baili Rui involuntarily showed some pride on his face.

That was the pride that was deeply rooted in his heart and would never be damaged because of temporary falling.

However, Lin Mengya’s brows gradually furrowed.

Why was it another thing related to the Lieyun State?

The Immortal Powder was also related to the Lieyun State. In this period of time, it seemed that all the poisons related to the Candle Dragon Cult had something to do with the Lieyun State.

She secretly sighed in her heart and thought that there seemed to be countless connections between her and the Lieyun State.

“However, later on, the master of the Baili family, who was my father, led the entire family to move to the Jin State for some unknown reason. But even so, our Baili family’s skills of making poisons were still unparalleled in the world. The Xin family used a lot of their connections in order to get our Baili family’s secret prescriptions. However, the Xin family is also a family making poisons for generations. If there’s someone in this world capable of changing my prescription, it probably could only be someone from the Xin family.”

The Xin Family? Lin Mengya frowned tightly because Xin Li’s vicious means were still vivid in her mind.

Xin Li had once threatened her to keep an eye on Xiaoyu and forbid him from returning to the Lieyun State.

It seemed that Xiaoyu’s identity was not as simple as she had thought.

“Actually, I came into contact with someone from the Xin family by accident once.”

As soon as Lin Mengya said that, Baili Rui grabbed her wrist nervously.

After feeling her pulse and thinking for a while, he slowly let out a sigh of relief.

“Teacher, why are you so nervous? You scared me.”

Lin Mengya retracted her wrist and looked at the serious teacher in front of her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

God, if Xin Li had poisoned her, she would have been killed a long time ago!

“You must stay away from the members of the Xin family as much as possible. They are a group of lunatics. In my father’s generation, there was someone from the Xin family who killed more than a thousand girls in order to develop the skill of retaining a youthful look. The members of the Xin family are as vicious as snakes and scorpions.”

Baili Rui seemed to harbor an undying hatred for the members of the Xin family, but he exuded deep fear in his tone at the same time.

Lin Mengya seemed to think of something suddenly. She was surprised and suddenly realized something at the same time.

“Teacher, does the skill of retaining a youthful look you mention work by catalyzing some aphrodisiac and beauty-keeping medicinal herbs with girls’ blood?”

Baili Rui was stunned for a moment and looked at his student, wondering how she knew about this weird and bloody skill.

“So that explains it. Does it really have something to do with the Lieyun State?”

Lin Mengya was shocked and could not help muttering to herself.

Seeing his student’s reaction, Baili Rui did not urge her to explain her words despite his anxiety.

It seemed that the crimes the Xin family committed were still spreading silently in secret.

“Teacher, I adopted a younger brother who is from the Lieyun State. Later, an evil person named Xin Li from the Xin family once came to warn me not to let my younger brother return to the Lieyun State. However, my younger brother’s family found him and took him back later. In this case, will my younger brother be in danger?”

Everything was beyond Lin Mengya’s expectation.

If what Lin Mengya predicted was true, Xiaoyu would be in a very dangerous situation.

Even Long Tianyu, who had refrained himself and been secretly protected by his father since he was a child, collapsed at the first blow when confronting the Candle Dragon Cult, not to mention Xiaoyu who grew up in another country.

…

She… she was so muddle-headed!

At that time, she should not let Xiaoyu go with those people at any cost!

“Xin Li? I haven’t heard of him. Nevertheless, if he is the heir of the Xin family, you don’t have to worry about it. Do you know why the Xin family is so inhuman?”

Lin Mengya shook her head. Xin Li’s means were so cruel and weird that she even couldn’t help feeling a little scared when she thought of it now.

“That’s because the blood of the lineal descendants of the Xin family is poisonous. All the male adults of the Xin family die of violent death when they are 35 years old. Although the female adults won’t die, they get old rapidly after turning 35 years old. That’s the reason why they came up with the skill of retaining a youthful look. However, as far as I know, even if they have tried all they could, none of them can survive after turning 40 years old. It is said that there is a highly favored imperial concubine from the Xin family in the Imperial Palace of the Lieyun state. However, as long as she turns 35 years old, all the honor and favor she gets will disappear. Therefore, the members of the Xin family are so irritable and capricious. Moreover, the toxin only works in the blood of the members of the major branch of the Xin family, while those born of a member of the Xin Family and an outsider could grow up safely. Therefore, the Xin family is so crazy.”

Although Lin Mengya’s teacher’s words did not comfort her, they explained to her why the Xin family was so inhuman.

However, although they were pitiful, it was extremely sinister to sacrifice other people’s lives to prolong theirs.

Xiaoyu hadn’t sent any message for a long time. Lin Mengya hoped that he was fine.

“But I’m still worried. Forget it. I’ll think of another way to deal with this matter. Thank you for your hard work, teacher. However, after we get through this, are you going to continue living in the dungeon? You and Yunzhu have wasted so much time. I think you might as well marry her as soon as possible?”

Holding back her worry, Lin Mengya deliberately picked up a relaxing and playful topic.

Baili Rui, who was steady, looked like a fogy in front of his student.

Nevertheless, he was a responsible man, and what his student said was exactly what he was thinking.

“Alas, I do want to marry her, but your subordinate is unwilling to marry me.”

So that was it. Lin Mengya covered her small mouth to hide her snigger and lowered her voice to say in a wicked tone.

“I will take actions at your command. I promise that you will be able to marry her.”

Baili Rui glanced at his student, and suddenly drew a large piece of gold from his bosom. Although he looked indifferent, his words made Lin Mengya laugh so hard that she almost had a stomachache.

“This is a reward for making her agree to marry me. It’s a deal.”

Puff, her teacher was acted as quickly as usual.

Lin Mengya weighed the gold ingot in her hands and found that it weighed ten liang.

She put it in her purse with a smile and winked at her teacher.

“I’ll take care of everything.”

After that, Lin Mengya returned to her carriage with the heavy gold.

Long Tianyu had finished his talk with Xiao Yixin. At this moment, he was sitting behind a small wooden desk and reading a military book quietly.

Hearing something, he immediately raised his head and looked at Lin Mengya. Then he got up, took her hand, and gently pulled her to his side.

He covered her legs with a wool blanket. It was still cold. The girl, who was thin and weak, could not stand the cold.

“Taro, I seem to have done something wrong.”

Lin Mengya was no longer as clever and witty as when she was in front of her teacher. In front of Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya could show all her worries.

He looked at her with distress and held her into his arms, wondering how many worries this slender girl bore.

“No matter what you have done wrong, in my opinion, you are always right.”

His words made her feel a little embarrassed.

Lin Mengya sighed and told him what she was worried about.

“I’m so worried about Xiaoyu. I wish I didn’t let him go at that time. Do you know? In the yard where I was detained, Sumei and the others catalyzed the medicine with girls’ blood. The teacher said that it’s done by the Xin family in Lieyun. At that time, Xin Li came to warn me. I thought… I thought it’s all just talk, but now it seems to be me who pushed Xiaoyu into hell.”

As she said, she unconsciously grasped the front of Long Tianyu’s clothes with her little hands.

Her furrowed brows showed her insoluble worry and self-blame.

Long Tianyu held her firmly in his arms. Sometimes, he wished she were stupider and sillier so that she could probably have fewer worries.

However, he just liked her cleverness, although most of the smart people would be less happy.

“You don’t have to worry too much. Not to mention you, even my father and I didn’t get the information. In fact, it was right for you to let Xiaoyu go back. He doesn’t belong here. If you force him to stay here, it will be bad for him instead.”

Lin Mengya understood what he said.

However, she regarded Xiaoyu as her biological younger brother, which was the reason why she was so worried.

After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya suddenly seemed to have figured out something.

“If we can restrain the forces of the Candle Dragon Cult in our country, they may have their hands full so that they can’t deal with Xiaoyu, right? Although the Candle Dragon Cult is large, sometimes such a complicated organization has weaker horizontal deployment. What’s more, after so many years, plenty of countries have noticed their forces. The people they can dispatch are not necessarily more than those we can dispatch! We struck them in the Nation of Lintian when they were unprepared. The forces of other countries can’t invade the Jin State in a short time. Taro, don’t you think my analysis right?”

Lin Mengya’s eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Long Tianyu expectantly.

Long Tianyu tapped the tip of her upright nose with his long and slender index finger.

Under Long Tianyu’s doting eye, Lin Mengya knew that she was right this time.

“My princess, why are you so smart?”

His heart was filled with pride for his little girl.

Not only was his princess beautiful, but she was also of noble birth. Most importantly, she was even more cunning than a fox.

There was probably no other girl in Dajin and even around the world deserving his satisfaction and favor more than his princess.

“But, I’m still worried about him. By the way, Xiu invited me to visit the Lieyun State. If we have some time in the future, let’s go together. The teacher said that the Lieyun State is a sacred place for every doctor specializing in making poisons. I really want to see how those poisonous insects, poisonous flowers, and poisonous herbs coexist peacefully.”

Her words…

Long Tianyu forced a smile.

Look, his princess was indeed extraordinary.

Even her hobby was weirder than that of an ordinary person.

“Well, let’s talk about it when we get a chance in the future.”

Long Tianyu agreed perfunctorily, while secretly swearing in his heart.

He must try all he could to dispel Lin Mengya’s weird idea for the rest of his life.
